What else can I help you with?
Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms fault - block mountains?
The type of tectonic stress that forms fault-block mountains is known as extensional stress. This stress occurs when the Earth's lithosphere is being pulled apart, causing blocks of crust to move vertically. As the blocks are uplifted and tilted along fault lines, fault-block mountains are created.
By what type of fault were the sierra mountains formed?
Normal fault, i believe is true.
What kind of stress forms fault block mountains?
Fold-block mountains form when tension makes the lithosphere break into many normal faults.
What type of landform is the rocky mountains?
reverse fault
Are the sierra Nevada mountains folded mountains?
nope fault block
What types of mountains are the Cascades domed or fault block?

Mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault?
what are mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault
Where can fault - block mountains be found?
Fault-block mountains are typically found in areas where tectonic plates are shifting horizontally, causing the Earth's crust to break and move vertically. Some examples of regions with fault-block mountains include the Sierra Nevada in California, the Teton Range in Wyoming, and the Harz Mountains in Germany.
Which two types of plate boundary forms volcanoes?
Fault Block mountains such as the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and Fold & Thrust Mountains such as the Himalayans.
What type of fault are the Rocky Mountains?
They are dome(up-warped) mountains
